Re: [slim] Need Help with a Curious USB A to B Cable with Squeezeite Settings
I just wanted to update this post and put a closure to it. Not the outcome that I was hoping for but alas Curious got back to me and their assessment is that their cable is just incompatible with the RPi platform. I would hope that they will investigate this and add as a disclosure on their FAQ page for future customers that may run into the same issue or perhaps they will improve upon next versions of their products if it makes business sense for them to do so. I want to thank the folks that provided their input into helping me try to resolve it. This is a great forum with equally great members!

Re: [slim] Need Help with a Curious USB A to B Cable with Squeezeite Settings
Good luck with the Return/Exchange. I think Curious has a 30-day full satisfaction period so should be straightforward to send back... This is not the proper place to discuss, but since a window of opportunity opened for a full refund... If you are determined to utilise RPi/PcP, there are great optical HAT solutions. Are you open to using Glass Optical instead of pricey Curious USB cables? http://lifatec.com/toslink2.html If you like pricey cables, there is also the Audioquest Diamond optilink Glass Optical. If your determined for RPi/PcP USB, there may also be another solution. Just not sure of your preferences. I just know optical is reference for Chord DACs. Just ignore if you already have a set preference. Not sure how new you are to the Qutest.
